We're currently closed.

Snipette has stopped regular publication, as of June 2023. Due to this, the Writers' Programme is also on hold.

However, the Snipette team is still very much into editing! So if you're interested in writing we'd love to connect. Feel free to drop us a line as well as join our mailing list to stay updated on whatever we work on next!

The original Writers' Programme website remains up, minus the signup form, for posterity.

Aspiring writers

Whether it's giving you tips or writing paragraphs for you—we'll help you as much or as little as you need.

Scientists & researchers

Share your work beyond its specific niche. Put your technical writing on hold and let creativity run wild—because it's time the rest of the world knows what you're doing.

Use stories to showcase the science

Grip readers with fiction techniques

Established writers

Try out a new writing style, with new quirky rules. What we're doing here is neither fact nor fiction—but something in between.

How it works

We understand that no two peoples’ requirements of us will be the same. No two people’s ideas or problems or finished products will be identical. Having said that, we do have some ideas about the system, that will hold constant for all our applicants

Your workplace will be an empty Google Docs sheet. This is where you’ll be writing your article and we, the Snipette editors, will be using the “comments” and “suggestions” features to help you out and suggest edits.
Meanwhile, we’ll also keep an email thread going. This is where we, writer and editors, will be discussing the article in general. You can also ask any questions you might have or ask for help if you need it.
When your article is done, you will need to copy-paste it to a Medium draft, and submit it to Snipette. This is so that we can publish it under your name. This is where we’ll adjust the images and text formatting.
Once you give your approval, your article will be scheduled for publication on Medium as well as on our own website.

And that's it! Time to sit back and show off your brand-new article :)
